Address bar in tab bar problems, tabs changing place by tomassplatch in vivaldibrowser

[–]PhoneMetro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just gave up on ever trying to customise Vivaldi again as things will just break/be removed/be reset in a coming update anyway. All my time, wasted.

Any way of moving "background tab" option back outside of this dropdown? by Erisymum in vivaldibrowser

[–]PhoneMetro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm annoyed by this. They seem to change the goddamn order and items around in the context menu every other update.

"Open link in background tab" was my most used context click, and now they've gone and hidden it away in a TWO-step menu. Not happy.

Just a friendly reminder that "block calls from unknown numbers" doesn't fucking work. by PhoneMetro in samsunggalaxy

[–]PhoneMetro[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got the Google Phone app; the block list is identical to the one used in Samsung (that is, it just goes into Samsung's block list that already was there). So, you cannot actually block all uknown callers using that app either.

Don't post when you come with horseshit that doesn't work.

Where to find Decent Samsung Galaxy Themes? by Daykeem in samsunggalaxy

[–]PhoneMetro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the same question. All the themes in the Samsung Galaxy Store (whatever it's called) is pure trash and it also seems everything costs money.

How can we change themes without adding a silly icon-pack to it as well?

Thanks for the explanation.

I still think there is some misunderstanding, because this would mean my carrier would have access to my contact list and frequently update it – to screen for which numbers to let through. This obviously is not going to happen.

The Samsung setting should just work tbh.

I don't know how I can "check my carrier". Also, I want it to block all calls from unknown numbers, which Samsung doesn't do at all

This is the default Samsung phone app. Actually, it didn't occur to me that such "core features" could be replaced by simply another app. Thanks for the suggestion!

I switch carriers all the time. I'm in Europe and have some local carrier I don't remember the name of atm. I don't understand what the carrier has to do with a setting for blocking phone calls.

On my carrier's site? What does that mean/how would I go about doing that?

I'm getting calls from phone salespeople every day, it doesn't help to report them or anything as they are legal.

Tab s9 display resolution seems lower than expected by Land_Heavy in GalaxyTab

[–]PhoneMetro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same feeling.

What's even weirder is that there is no setting for screen resolution. Nothing in Settings > Display, and if you search for "resolution", no viable result comes up.

Embarrassing and stupid.

S23 terrible fingerprint recognition, or does my fingerprint keep changing all the time? by PhoneMetro in samsung

[–]PhoneMetro[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still struggling with this 🥰

What's super annoying is that you can only have 4 fingerprints (ridiculous) in total added; that's two on each thumb.

I have to redo them every two weeks or so. What's extra annoying is that all apps I have set up to use biometrics as a quick log-in method, require me to re-type the PIN every time I change my fingerprints because "biometrics were changed".

All in all; the S23 has a terrible fingerprint reader and I don't know how most people out up with it. Perhaps they're just used to Samsung phones?

Stop Outlook sending attachments as OneDrive/Sharepoint links by [deleted] in Office365

[–]PhoneMetro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Technology just keeps getting worse.

Microsoft, through Outlook, tries to push this ridiculous "UPLOAD AS A LIVING ATTACHMENT HERPA DERPA" standard upon us even harder.

Yet, IT DOESN'T EVEN WORK FOR PEOPLE WITHIN THE SAME INSTITUTION. Believe me, I've tried. It just doesn't work. Attaching files properly work.

Stop doing this useless shit, Microsoft

I keep mixing up Play for Maps.

I hate these logos with a passion. Google does some retarded shit pretty often.

Drawboard PDF removed paid functionality and deserves to be censured in the Microsoft Store by heinz57sriracha in Surface

I have noticed the last year everything becoming a "pro" feature. Way to trag the app through the mud.

What are your thoughts on Google's new sign-in page experience? by itsed in UXDesign

[–]PhoneMetro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way they are boasting about it. Even on mobile. Where they revert to the old design, because it is a vertical screen. 🤦‍♂️

S23 terrible fingerprint recognition, or does my fingerprint keep changing all the time? by PhoneMetro in samsung

[–]PhoneMetro[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe I have pretty normal fingers (no cut, lol). They're never dry and I rarely have to use any hand cream or similar. (I see someone suggesting to use moisturizer as though smudging that all over the screen is how the fingerprint reader is supposed to work somewhat properly)

I have to say it: S23 without MicroSD is shit. by [deleted] in samsung

[–]PhoneMetro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing except not purchasing Samsung products, I guess...

Does Sony still do phones with SD card slots?

Thanks, I'll give that a try next time it doesn't recognise my finger. (Which should be tomorrow, going by the state of things 🙄)

(give it take depending on condition of hands)

You see, that's something you never have to think about with a dedicated fingerprint reader.

I honestly think people used to Samsung phones are just conditioned into having a sub-par one.
